Crazy Consumer Electronics World: Samsung's next 10.5-inch tablet tipped off with a high-res AMOLED display

Samsung might have a new Super AMODLED 10.5-inch tablet waiting in the wings.

A specifications sheet for a new Samsung tablet with the model number SM-T800 was spotted by Sammobile. The document detailed a new 10.5-inch tablet sporting a 2560 x 1600 resolution Super AMOLED display.

It will also supposedly be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the tablet will likely come running Android KitKat 4.4.2 stored on 16/32/64GB of storage.

Other specs include an 8-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front-facing sensor, microSD card slot, and a 7,900 mAh battery. The new Samsung tablet was also specified to be a Wi-Fi only model.

Pixels ahoy!

It's been a few years since we saw Samsung's last AMOLED fronted tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from 2012,

With such a high-resolution screen this SM-T800 tablet would give even the 2048 x 1536 resolution iPad Air a run for its money. The rumored Samsung device also matches the Kindle HDX 8.9's resolution.

A banner year for tablets

This year could be another arms race for tablet displays. A new Apple 12-inch iPad has been tipped off in multiple rumors and it could come with an amazing 2K or even 4K display panel.

Meanwhile, early reports have pinned the possibility of a new Nexus 10.1-inch tablet for a reveal at this year's Google IO.

While it's suspected we won't see any increase in screen resolution, the previous Nexus 10 already had a gorgeous 2560×1600 resolution display. What's more, the new iteration is rumored to have improved contrast ratio and color rendering.

The one leg up Samsung has is the Super AMOLED nature of the screen, which should allow the display to show off richer colors and deeper blacks than any normal LED panel.
